             Summary: IBR leak causes standby NN to be stuck in safe mode
                 Key: HDFS-15421
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15421
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
            Reporter: Kihwal Lee


After HDFS-14941, update of the global gen stamp is delayed in certain 
situations.  This makes the last set of incremental block reports from append 
"from future", which causes it to be simply re-queued to the pending DN message 
queue, rather than processed to complete the block.  The last set of IBRs will 
leak and never cleaned until it transitions to active.  The size of 
{{pendingDNMessages}} constantly grows until then.

If a leak happens while in a startup safe mode, the namenode will never be able 
to come out of safe mode on its own.
